Composite fillings
Are you fed up with your old-fashioned, obvious fillings? Or perhaps you’re in need of a filling for the first time and are concerned about the appearance of your teeth. Don’t worry: composite fillings provide the strength and security you need to enjoy all your favourite foods, with a beautiful, natural-looking appearance.
Regain your confidence
Teeth suffer from wear and tear as we get older, and there are a variety of reasons you might need a composite filling, including:
- Trauma, caused by an accident or injury
- Cavities
- Tooth enamel erosion
- Age
- Replacing silver mercury fillings
More reasons to smile
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of bonded resins and ceramics, which are completely safe and hardwearing. They are designed to blend in with your natural tooth shade, so nobody will notice them when you smile, talk, eat or laugh.
A safer smile
In the past, many dentists used silver mercury fillings to treat cavities and tooth decay. However, this material can cause a serious risk to your health. By releasing low levels of mercury vapour into the bloodstream and kidneys, silver mercury fillings have been linked with brain damage, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, allergic reactions to silver mercury can cause the appearance of skin rashes and sores in your mouth.
If you choose to have your silver mercury fillings removed, you’ll be in safe hands with The Oxford Smile Clinics. We use state-of-the-art equipment to remove mercury vapour and particles safely and efficiently to help safeguard your health and safety.
